3D-CTM reconstruction and creating Voxel-Map. The reconstruction of 3D-CTM (a); the horizontal plane in the position of 3D-CTM where lined in panel a (b) and a local region of the horizontal plane (c); more detailed values of pixels are shown in Figure 1(d). Positive and negative signs represent dilation and erosion, respectively, and the values represent the distance off lumen.
